Electricity & Magnetism 2

Unit Summary

Building upon the foundational concepts introduced in Electricity & Magnetism 1, this second unit advances further into the dynamic world of electricity and magnetism. The unit consists of 6 engaging lessons, each designed to enhance understanding and foster critical skills. It explores charged objects, electric fields, the properties of magnets, magnetic fields, the Earth’s magnetism and electromagnets. In this unit, we place a strong emphasis on developing conceptual clarity and fostering a nuanced understanding of the mechanics governing electricity and magnetism. 

Our partnership with Rolls Royce SMR has enriched this unit, offering real-world context and insights. Industry experts share their wisdom, bridging classroom learning with tangible career opportunities, aligned with the Gatsby Benchmarks. Students will not only master the complexities of electricity and magnetism but also cultivate crucial skills such as scientific inquiry, technical communication and critical thinking. By fostering an environment that champions curiosity and innovation, this unit empowers students to envision a world where science and opportunity intertwine seamlessly.
